Exegesis
The verse opens with the vav consecutive vayya’an {וַיַּעַן | way-yaʿan} introducing the prophetic declaration, followed by the relative clause asher hikrati mimekh {אֲשֶׁר־הִכְרַתִּי מִמֵּךְ | ʾă-šer ḥik-rat-tî mi-mekh} which uses the hiphil perfect to express imminent divine action.
In context — Ezekiel 21:4
Because I am about to cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked, my sword will come out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
